I always use a jar or can and buy them on sale. But, she said it was really easy and cheap to make your own. Well, yours looks really good. I love the thought of having it cook in the crock pot all day.

When I was working, I could throw the ingredients for my low sodium chili in the crock pot in the morning, and it would be ready to eat when I got home. If you are in a hurry, many of the chili mixes have reduced sodium. It is hard to find chili powder without added ingredients, but since we are only 85 miles from the border, I can usually get just plain ground chili with no additives. I always add a can of low sodium corn to my recipe, as well as low sodium black beans.<br /><br />I love Starbucks, but it seriously gives me the jitters!Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504547252988171727.post-81480302156475605892011-02-02T23:59:26.764-08:002011-02-02T23:59:26.764-08:00At the end of December, Coinstar did a deal where ...At the end of December, Coinstar did a deal where they gave you an extra gift certificate for getting gift cards to specific locations, including amazon.com.

I made a bunch of marinara sauce from the tomatos we grew last summer. I spend a day or two simmering tomatos, onions, garlic, basil, and oregano and then filling zip-loc bags with the sauce. All winter long I can pull one out of the freezer, stick a couple of turkey sausage in it, and it's almost a free meal. Plus I love to preserve a little bit of summer for our cold winter here in Utah. Love to hear your thrifty tips.
